In the Story behind the Story podcast, which debuts with an interview of Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reporter Lucinda Holt, The Hub@TTU will explore how journalists find and report stories.

The podcast’s content will be both local and national in scope, covering a variety of topics, from crime to sports to human interest and general news.

Texas Tech grad Lucinda Holt joins Katie Main in the first episode to discuss the reporting of the Holli Jeffcoat story. Jeffcoat, a developmentally disabled 18-year-old, was found murdered in her bedroom of her Northeast Lubbock County home.

Feb. 10 marks the one-year anniversary of Jeffcoat’s death.
